[BackupPC-users] What is the best way (using perl) to determine the length of a compressed backup file?
I have been considering the following: - Uncompressing the full file to determine its length.. But this is very computationally inefficient for large files... - Unpacking attrib file but this seems This seems best, but I'm not sure what are the best/easiest subroutines for parsing the attrib file (I looked at Holger's BackupPC_attribCheck and to my naive eyes it looked pretty complicate) So are there any higher level subroutines I could use as a basis? If so, which ones...

Right. - Unpacking attrib file but this seems This seems best, but I'm not sure what are the best/easiest subroutines for parsing the attrib file (I looked at Holger's BackupPC_attribCheck and to my naive eyes it looked pretty complicate) Using the attrib file is the best way. See bin/BackupPC_attribPrint for an example.

[BackupPC-users] Misleading Error Message
Yohoo! I got a no ping message on the web frontend while scheduling a manual backup of a host. However, pinging the host from the backuppc worked fine. The logfile told me then the issue: LOG:2008-11-02 22:29:26 tp: test hardlink between /var/lib/BackupPC//pc/tp and /var/lib/BackupPC//cpool failed And yes, I had an issue earlier with the iSCSI device where the backup are stored. I simply rebooted. I know, not the ideal way, but in this case the fastest :) No question- just a statement to improve the web gui :) CU Christian - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100url=/ ___ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List:https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki:http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
